Hello guys,
I've downloaded firmware 5.1.1 for my Galaxy S6 SM-G920F but I didn't flash it because some of the websites said that it will cause battery drainage very badly.
Any one has done it? what about solving Ram issue? any information please

Have you tripped the Knox ?
If yes, stay
If no, update to 5.1.1

Just curious, what difference does it make if he has tripped Knox or not?
Frankly I never used Knox and what is has to do with the update?

Because if you update to 5.1.1 you have to break/trip knox to gain root, but if you have 5.0.2 you won't have to
Thanks for the info,
What about downgrading? Is it possible to get back to 5.0.2 after the update?

It means better not to update if they didnt solve Ram issue

5.1.1 is much smoother and have less battery drain in my opinion.
I don't care about knoxx, the only thing what is important is smoothness of my phone.
I tryed custom recovery, stock recovery, root, no root,
And to be honest now I'm running the latest Xtrestolite (odex) and it's the best update till now! ( in my opinion )
5.1.1 will come to you at some point weather you like it or not. Best version of 5.1.1 is the one offered via OTA which is specific to your country. No fears of bricking your phone or voiding your warranty. A little patience is needed to wait for it as Samsung deploys it slower than we expected it. If you are the one who cares only for the latest which on most cases is the greatest and willing to take risks then flash away.
Thanks guys for the answers,
Mine is SM-G920F which the update came for france! Is it workable in other countries?
I'm just wondering is the 920F the more popular international model over the 920I? I have the 920F by the way.
There seems to be all kinds of bugs with 5.1.1, is it worth updating to it? If anything, I think I'll at least wait for the OTA, I live in America so will I get the OTA at same time as others around the world?
Can anyone confirm longer exposures than 1/10 sek in 5.1.1? For example try Manual Camera. In 5.0.2 the max. exposure is 1/10
Thanks!
I've updated it and its really smooth and faster.
But unfortunately the Ram Issue is the same! Still reaching 88%!!
Its a large update, its o er 500mb. I updated with no problems. I find the battery life a bit better. The phone runs smoother and there are a few extras with camera. I'm nit a camera person but do a search and you'll get the idea of the chance. You can now get rid off s finder and quick connect. Other features too. I like the update and Knox is not important to me, however. YOU CAN'T ROOT, right now.

Says Kernel not supported and it wont boot. Now have to use Odin to get back. 920P is not supported! Can't get back thru Odin so I'm letting it boot. Taking a long time and but finally there. I had to wipe everything. I'll let you know if it's rooted now. It booted but can;t use touch.
Did you guys update to 5.1 via ota? I'm in the UK with a non branded s6 and nothing available for me
hi all, since SSU it not working for lollips devices, its there any other alternative to unlick my sim for international GSM use??
Why not Odin back to KitKat? I do it with the S4, S5, Note 3.... it worked. Try it.

Can be downgraded, but I suggest you to wait some days before doing that, sometimes on nougat takes a while till battery autonomy gets better
The only way to downgrade from nougat to marshmallow is to flash BL+AP+CSC+CP files via latest version of Odin.

What actually drains your battery..?
Take a look... Maybe it better to do a factory reset and see if it helps... Phone works better with 7.0...
Anyway, if you wanna downgrade to 6.0.1, download latest 6.0.1 firmware for a region you are currently running, and flash it with odin...
This ROM is official and no bugs in it and its very fast
I find it and I'd like to share it with u

No, it only work for galaxy s6 not s6 edge......the battery position for s6 edge is totally different from s7 edge. I wish I could stop this battery from draining fast.

No, their battery connectors are not the same, for now, no other samsung battery work for s6 edge.
if this doesnt work on the s6 edge, then this is posted in the wrong section. this is the "Galaxy S6 EGDE Android Development" section. So if it doesnt work on the edge, it needs to get moved

My mistake then. My apologies.
So this WILL work on the edge? Does it work on the 925T (T-Mobile?)
Is the battery drain THAT significant? I know when I simply rooted my wife's S7, it had significant battery drain and lagged like no other. Has anyone tried using a kernel editor and limiting the processor?

I actually use NexusOS Android Pie ROM on my 925F it works perfectly and the only known bug is the Bluetooth audio call not working. Battery life is same as always not impressive and I have to live with it.
I don't know if it's again XDA to put the ROM download link here since the thread is about RR but you can google for it.

I hope by now you were able to fix your device? You should download the original software for you device with Samsung smart switch for PC, it will restore your device to the original firmware and recovery then you can try flashing TWRP for your device again using Odin. And from there any custom recovery
On my g925f it just randomly reboots
